School principals are confronted with a variety of issues as they provide leadership and organization to their schools. Evidence is growing that successful school leaders influence achievement through the support and development of effective teachers and the implementation of effective organizational practice (Davis, Darling-Hammond, LaPointe, and Meyerson, 2005). Sometimes it takes leadership behavior of the principal to begin to resolve the issue and at other times it takes organizational and management skills to resolve an issue. This classroom activity is designed to provide options for an instructor in developing the background knowledge and organizational behaviors necessary for students to begin developing an individualized or personalized approach to organizational behavior. Discussions and/or reactions after each presentation provides an opportunity to focus attention on the need for establishing a systems perspective for guiding administrative behavior as issues are clarified and solutions are identified, including both anticipated and unanticipated consequences that may occur.

[Expand Summary]
Superintendents of schools face increased leadership demands from diverse constituents, challenges due to current economic and political conditions, and opportunities posed by evolving trends and reforms. Superintendents are in the key position to make systemic school improvements a major priority, to allocate resources to promote the importance and implementation of those improvements, and to direct and support what principals need to do to keep instructional leadership in clear focus and at the top of their agendas. To better fulfill such responsibilities, superintendents must purposefully choose to remain current with existing demands and to address future needs. This article presents the results of a preliminary study on superintendents’ self-identification of professional development needs based on recognized leadership standards and the preferences of those superintendents for professional development delivery methods.
